What is you most loved cycling gear and stuff that you would hate to be without?

Popped one on last week. Coming from a plush commuter saddle, "comfort" is relative!

If I've previously read you rightly, that saddle will be way too narrow for you Mr. HelmutHerr. A saddle needs to be wide enough for your bones to be on it, not the squishy bits[1] between them. I struggle too, but I've finally succumbed to the fact that I need a saddle at least 16cm wide. I get too much pain from anything narrower.
